CB Historical Draft - 1990's 2000's version: Draft Thread

[Roy Hobbs]

with the first pick in the fourth round the Houston Rockets select: Yao Ming

Nice pick, I think. 

[GreenFaith1819]

I agree - I looked at Yao this morning.

Lol..JVG looks like a kid next to him.

I've never been a Yao type guy.

Out of 656 possible games he could have played in during the regular season, he's only played in 420. Then, in his healthy years(only 4 out of 8.), he's never been able to average over 20 PPG or 10 RPG. The guy is talented and huge and can't average over 20 PPG and 10 RPG when healthy?

Always thought he was over rated.

That said, as a 4th round pick, it's a good one

With the 44th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers welcome back Philly's own Rasheed Wallace!!

Ugh! I thought I could get him.

A very valuable glue guy.

Sheed + Duncan are going to be a very tough defensive partnership.

while its true hes never fully reached his potential.. his last year playing 77 games he averaged 19.7 ppg and 9.9 rpg plus 2 blocks a game..

Anyone looking to trade back a little?

It will be interesting to see which year Yao is selected.  It may be a better strategy to go with a more dominant, but less healthy, Yao, so long as he was available in the playoffs.

Hey guys, just to give you a heads up I'll be away from my desk between 2:15 and 2:45. Figured I'd give you the heads up o if my pick is in that time you can plan accordingly.

Solid.  People forget how good Mullin was.  Five straight seasons over 25 points per game.

I like the Reggie pick as somebody to kick out to, as well.

idea is it makes it very hard to pack the paint vs. isiah's penetration and give mourning/malone room to operate
